Criminal Defense Lawyer: I am a former assistant prosecuting attorney for Kanawha County, West Virginia. In addition, I also served as lawyer in the West Virginia Attorney General’s office, where I represented the West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, as well as other licensing boards. This familiarity assists me in dealing with the administrative hearings before the DMV regarding license revocation and license suspensions, which usually accompany a DUI charge.

If you have been arrested or charged with a crime, including DUI, drug offenses, sex offenses, violent crimes, white collar crimes, or other felonies, you need to speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer right away. Let me put my experience and knowledge to work for you.

Family Law Attorney: As a divorce lawyer, I understand the pitfalls and consequences of inadequate legal representation when drafting a parenting plan or divorce decree. I also have the knowledge and skill necessary to negotiate or litigate to receive a favorable award. Once the terms of the decree are set, you need a knowledgeable family law attorney to ensure the decree is properly drafted to properly reflect those terms. If you are involved in a domestic dispute, and are contemplating divorce, or have been served with papers, you need a skilled family law attorney to aggressively represent your legal interests.

Personal Injury Lawyer: If you have received serious injuries or lost a loved one as a result of someone else’s carelessness or negligence, you deserve the help of an personal injury lawyer familiar with the law. I am dedicated to assisting injured clients and their families in cases involving auto accidents, trucking accidents, construction site accidents, and professional malpractice. I can assist you in obtaining the best possible outcome in your injury claim.

With more than fifteen years legal experience in a broad range of legal matters, I have the background, skill, and knowledge to provide you with the quality representation you seek and deserve. There is no cost associated with contacting me to determine how my background and understanding of the law can help you.
